Originally from the Peninsula, the Oakland-based influencer describes her out-loud style as grandma glam — think chunky sweaters, bold graphic tees and maximalist accessories interspersed with timeless basics. With her big smile and pink hair, she exudes a genuine confidence, and rejects toxic notions from her upbringing in the 1990s and 2000s, when thinness was considered the “ultimate accessory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957005\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bold graphic tees and accessories are a staple of Katie Winnen’s style. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Winnen, personal style reinforces a sense of self. “[Fashion] feels like such a fun way to explore how I show up in the world, and how we can express who we are to other people,” she tells KQED. “Whether we want to communicate things like our creativity or profession, there are so many things you can showcase through your style and what you wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101891829/evette-dionne-takes-on-fatphobia-in-weightless\">body positivity and body neutrality\u003c/a> movements have made strides in recent years, size-inclusive fashion still has a long way to go when it comes to availability, fit and style. Winnen says a lot of advice for plus-size women is outdated, focusing on hiding body parts rather than highlighting personality. That’s why, beyond the basic tips like seasonal guides or finding the right concert look, Winnen sees an overall need for a supportive environment for plus-sized people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Self-confidence first, clothes second\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Winnen started her fashion journey by looking inward — and not just into her closet. Her career rise has mirrored her quest to wholeheartedly accept herself. It all stems from a mental reframe Winnen puts this way: “Maybe my body isn’t the problem. Maybe people who have a problem with my body are a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957003\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg\" alt=\"A stylist with pink hair lifts up a lime green top from her clothing rack.\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Winnen says there’s a need for more plus-size fashion content. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Prior to becoming a full-time TikTok creator in 2023, Winnen had been contributing to the platform for three years with some momentum.

Originally from the Peninsula, the Oakland-based influencer describes her out-loud style as grandma glam — think chunky sweaters, bold graphic tees and maximalist accessories interspersed with timeless basics. With her big smile and pink hair, she exudes a genuine confidence, and rejects toxic notions from her upbringing in the 1990s and 2000s, when thinness was considered the “ultimate accessory.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957005\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957005\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2754-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bold graphic tees and accessories are a staple of Katie Winnen’s style. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For Winnen, personal style reinforces a sense of self. “[Fashion] feels like such a fun way to explore how I show up in the world, and how we can express who we are to other people,” she tells KQED. “Whether we want to communicate things like our creativity or profession, there are so many things you can showcase through your style and what you wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101891829/evette-dionne-takes-on-fatphobia-in-weightless\">body positivity and body neutrality\u003c/a> movements have made strides in recent years, size-inclusive fashion still has a long way to go when it comes to availability, fit and style. Winnen says a lot of advice for plus-size women is outdated, focusing on hiding body parts rather than highlighting personality. That’s why, beyond the basic tips like seasonal guides or finding the right concert look, Winnen sees an overall need for a supportive environment for plus-sized people.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Self-confidence first, clothes second\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Winnen started her fashion journey by looking inward — and not just into her closet. Her career rise has mirrored her quest to wholeheartedly accept herself. It all stems from a mental reframe Winnen puts this way: “Maybe my body isn’t the problem. Maybe people who have a problem with my body are a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957003\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1067px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957003\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg\" alt=\"A stylist with pink hair lifts up a lime green top from her clothing rack.\" width=\"1067\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725.jpg 1067w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/F93A2725-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Winnen says there’s a need for more plus-size fashion content. \u003ccite>(DA Mission)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Prior to becoming a full-time TikTok creator in 2023, Winnen had been contributing to the platform for three years with some momentum.

It stood for more than just looking cute. It was for the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fashionista since elementary school, Smith was taught to sew at the age of eight by her mother, a multitalented entrepreneur. Smith attended Oakland public schools — Skyline for high school and Montera for junior high — but it was her experience in elementary school, at Redwood Heights, that laid the foundation for her future. “That’s when I realized that I wanted to get into fashion,” Smith says. “I would draw little clothes and dress up my dolls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13955082\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1545px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13955082\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1545\" height=\"2492\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi.jpeg 1545w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-800x1290.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-1020x1645.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-160x258.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-768x1239.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-952x1536.jpeg 952w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Jendayi-1270x2048.jpeg 1270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1545px) 100vw, 1545px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jendayi Smith as a toddler. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Jendayi Smith)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now 40, Smith sports a forest green blazer, tan sweater, striped scarf and fly earrings as she tells me via video chat that she’s always styled her own clothes.

So Smith applied to the Fashion Institute of Technology and got a second degree in fashion design. “After that I started working as a fashion designer in women’s cold weather accessories — hats, and scarves and gloves,” says Smith. But the company she worked for was soon bought out. Around that time, Smith began to yearn for the warm sun and familial roots of California, and left New York.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Los Angeles, where she was born, she got word that Mattel was hiring. It wasn’t exactly fashion design, but Smith was impressed by the upbeat company culture and the aesthetics of the office (much livelier than depicted in the \u003cem>Barbie\u003c/em> movie, she says).

For a while, it seemed that all hip Bay Area citizens were about to give up their accustomed interests — tie dyeing, primal therapy, movies of the ’40s — to immerse themselves in leaf cuttings and fish emulsion. Should you talk to your plants or play music to them? Kill spider mites with soapsuds or malathion? These were issues of the day, debated as hotly as the merits of est versus Esalen. Now, we can be sensible about plants again. The truth is, plants are nice to have around, but the greater proportion of the populace is not fish-emulsion oriented.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But people didn’t necessarily want to go back to a plant-less life, Friedman argued. They just wanted easier plants, and what easier plant could there be than the jade?

Despite their South African origin, jade plants became popular among some Asian Americans. Strategist Rena Tom recalls her parents’ lovingly tended border in a Sacramento suburb: “Jade is a staple gift for Chinese people, store openings and such, so that’s one way it has spread far and wide,” she said, “by choice and not neglect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jade plants propagate so easily that a few really productive plants likely seeded whole blocks. In an interwoven place like Berkeley, maybe all the jade is distantly related, some ceramics auntie’s prize specimen multiplying yard-by-yard. Even generations removed, mustn’t the plants still retain a whiff, an essence of low-note earthiness? I hope so. We need it, we people of blue light hairlessness, of Zoom and emoji eggplants and bright airy kitchens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, I predict a jade resurgence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story originally appeared in \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandgardenclub.substack.com/\">Oakland Garden Club\u003c/a>, a newsletter about plants and the urban environment. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Free jade, easier than free love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13951661\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 693px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/ezgif-5-53a57fba13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"693\" height=\"653\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13951661\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/ezgif-5-53a57fba13.jpg 924w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/ezgif-5-53a57fba13-800x753.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/ezgif-5-53a57fba13-160x151.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/02/ezgif-5-53a57fba13-768x723.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maggie Maylis’ ‘Plant Parenthood,’ published in the middle of the plant boom in 1975. \u003ccite>(101 Productions)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And here’s the crux of the story.

For a while, it seemed that all hip Bay Area citizens were about to give up their accustomed interests — tie dyeing, primal therapy, movies of the ’40s — to immerse themselves in leaf cuttings and fish emulsion. Should you talk to your plants or play music to them? Kill spider mites with soapsuds or malathion? These were issues of the day, debated as hotly as the merits of est versus Esalen. Now, we can be sensible about plants again. The truth is, plants are nice to have around, but the greater proportion of the populace is not fish-emulsion oriented.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But people didn’t necessarily want to go back to a plant-less life, Friedman argued.

Despite their South African origin, jade plants became popular among some Asian Americans. Strategist Rena Tom recalls her parents’ lovingly tended border in a Sacramento suburb: “Jade is a staple gift for Chinese people, store openings and such, so that’s one way it has spread far and wide,” she said, “by choice and not neglect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jade plants propagate so easily that a few really productive plants likely seeded whole blocks. In an interwoven place like Berkeley, maybe all the jade is distantly related, some ceramics auntie’s prize specimen multiplying yard-by-yard. Even generations removed, mustn’t the plants still retain a whiff, an essence of low-note earthiness? I hope so. We need it, we people of blue light hairlessness, of Zoom and emoji eggplants and bright airy kitchens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, I predict a jade resurgence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
